Prize winning pumpkins, allergies and fall fun!

Fall Fun with the Strozeski Kids...

Henry is well at least for today, he has had many asthma episodes lately and we have been on edge awaiting the next attack. He is seeing a pediatric specialist and they have pinpointed his biggest trigger...allergies to milk protein. It all made sense we had just started supplementing more with an organic formula so mom could get some work done during the day and well like clock work 20 minutes after the bottle he would be red in the face, rapid breathing and gasping for breath. Mom has to not have any milk protein in her diet now and he has had to switch to a hypoallergenic formula for supplementation. He is getting better but wow that was and is very scary.

Isabella's twirlettes are going well she had a blast in the homecoming parade and can't wait till her miss majorette holiday competition and the upcoming holiday parade with a visit from santa too!

The kids had a great Halloween, Henry took first place in the school pumpkin contest and Isabella took third place.

The year the kids dressed up as Lumpy and roo from the movie Pooh's heffalump Halloween, it was isabella's idea.

We did a haunted house at the school trunk or treat event and they had a great night of fun an were joined by their cousins Ricky, Clara, Ruby and Matthew at the event.

Mom, Izzy & henry also went to the Toledo zoo for the lil boo zoo this year and had tons of fun!

The family went to the apple orchard with Grandpa mike and had a fun lunch at Brown in South Lyon one Sunday afternoon, gotta love fall time!

We also had a great visit from Uncle Josh and Aunt Meg, they are so fun to have over and wish they could have stayed longer. Uncle Josh was a bit tired he just traveled from Africa and had not had a good nite sleep yet.

So Here are some fun fall photos for my lucky readers to enjoy! Happy Fall can't wait for my favorite Thanksgiving...mmmmmmm!

This year we are hosting and i am so excited to make some really yummy dishes for all the family to enjoy.
